Fisher-Price Rainforest Deluxe Gym Review

One of my must have buys with a new baby is a play gym.  As babies gradually start to gain interest in toys a gym in the perfect play to lie them so they can see the bright colours around them.  For me the brighter the better. We had a play gym for O and we dug it out of storage when G came along.  Sadly it looked a little worse for wear as I started to remember how we had lost several of the toy attachments as we had taken them off for O to play with separately.  When…

Mamas & Papas Review

Mamas & Papas was probably the first baby shop I went into when I found out I was expecting O.  A store had recently opened in The Trafford Centre and I found myself wandering around there excited, and a little overwhelmed, with how much choice there was.  Our first purchases for O were made from there, a beautiful multi-coloured blanket and a couple of teddies, which are now living in G’s room. After that first visit I was in love and spent hours browsing the Mamas & Papas website.  Our nursery furniture was chosen from there and it was decorated…

Our Gro Snug Review

My eldest son always loved to be swaddled as a newborn.  At the time I used a cellular blanket to wrap him in but I was always slightly nervous of using blankets as I was worried that they might fall over his face.  As a first time mum you worry about everything don’t you?

Moba Moses Basket Review

When I found out I was expecting our second child there was very little that we needed to buy as I had kept almost everything from when we had O.  Items were stored away in the garage, outside shed and in the attic so as we got closer to my due date we started to retrieve the newborn essentials from their hiding places.  One of the items we had put into the attic was the Moses basket.  The basket I had spent hours choosing first time round. When it was pulled out of the black bin bags that had been…

Orchard Toys Review

We have been long time fans of Orchard Toys in our house.  I first discovered them when a friend bought O the Alphabet Match game as a birthday present.  He loved it instantly and I loved that it was teaching him to recognise his letters from a early age.  I’m a huge fan of how they make their toys and games fun and educational at the same time. We were recently sent a few Orchard Toys products to review and I couldn’t wait to try them out with O. Where Do I Live? I really liked this game and as…
